Our new online whizzkid (or luckbox) millionaire needs to learn some humility

[Suited_Jock]

Just read a thread on =4 regarding an interview Jimmy Gobboboy Fricke had done on a mates blog which really made me laugh. Whilst im sure the kid can play some poker he's very very naive and disrespectful to players that he comes across, stating that "99% of the oz millions field couldn't tie their own shoelaces"

The thread is here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=8898612&page=0&fpart=1&vc=1&nt=14

and the interview is here: http://drinkingandpoker.com/

Look out for Gobboboy's mum defending him in the thread priceless.

nowt wrong with a little self confidence

I think his biggest live weapon could be his looks.  Imagine being constantly reraised by him and looking over and see that staring you down - hard not to lose it and shove into a strong hand, lol.

comes across as a "real nice lad!!!!!!"

He looks young, I thought you had to  be 21 in Australia to gamble?

[Suited_Jock]

he's 19 and its 18+ in Oz ... also in the bahamas where he cashed in the WPT

Tell us about heads up with Gus Hansen.

I had a 3-1 chiplead, I just wanted it to be over quickly but after a few hands of playing HU I realized how deep we were. We were at 50k/100k blinds with 15 million in play, so 150 bb’s in play. And he started catching a LOT of cards. There was nothing I could do against top pair every single hand. I did make a few retarded plays/calls.

He hits, it's skill.  Someone else hits, it's luck.

He must have a decent game to achieve what he has.  Just needs to have a word with himself.  Good looking chap though, should be a hit with the ladies.

seperated at birth??

I think anyone who calls other people "retards" and looks like the famous fat fuk kid dancing bout on the the internet needs a reality check.

I followed his progress in the Aussie Millions via =4.  In the main sweat thread he posted quite a few times.  This may come back to haunt me, but he seemed fairly level-headed at times.  At one time, when Shaniac got annoyed because he kept saying "Ship it!"when taking down a pot, Gobbo did confess that he realised he was being an ass saying it and stopped doing it.  I thought he conducted his interviews well also.

Don't forget he is young, and probably hangs out with a lot of morons.  From time to time he's going to act like a jerk when he doesn't intend to.

There's no doubting he's a real talent.  He comes from a long line of super-aggressive kids that have made their mint on the internet and are using this technique in the big live tournaments as soon as they are old enough.  I think we're going to see a lot more from this guy.

Well he has the game - just lacking the social skills or common sense to go with it.  19 is old enough to know better, and by the intelligent replies and comments he has shown he can make, it's not that he doesn't understand that he's acting like an arse.
